Our field measurements show that there is virtually no rain, although dew is frequent.
Few larvae were found in dew droplets or concealed within heather leaflets; most larvae were recovered from the plant surface.
The amount of moisture was expressed as millimetres of dew.
During the early dry and dry seasons of 2002, leaf water potential and osmotic pressure were measured before and after a dew deposition event occurred.
The process is not strictly contingent upon tidal ebb and flow : circadian dews and rainfalls can produce identical cycling.
Average water gain by dew was calculated as average dew deposited on the leaves minus average nocturnal water loss.
I know my heart will heal, the pain will lift as dew upon the grass is gone before our feet can feel it.
The results indicate that dew formation was quite frequent and could have an important role in the growth and survival of some epiphytic bromeliads.
